This is the point at which I eat cartloads of humble pie and crawl
backwards out of the room muttering my apologies. Not only had I sent my
email to Wingware, I had mis-spelled it. The good people at Wingware
kindly emailed me following my post here.
My only (feeble) excuse is that I have just lost the backspace key in my
vim config and it's causing me loads of problems when I write emails.
Once again I apologise profusely. I shall certainly purchase wingware
and will not hesitate to recommend it.
Regards, John
